Recorded monuments

• KD040-014 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Known locally as 'Mary's Well', still visited and kept clean. Situated close to the site of the nunnery (KD040-015----). Fitzgerald describes a carved stone, known as 'the Greek Stone' which stood at the well until about 1875, when it was destroyed by the local blacksmith (JKAS 1891, 42). Date of upload: 8 September 2016

• KD040-015 Religious house - Augustinian, of Arrouaise nuns
  Description

  Walter de Riddlesford founded a nunnery here c. 1200, for either the Order of St Augustin or the Order of St Brigid (OS Letters 1837, 84). The extensive complex of low earthworks visible from the ground presumably relate to the nunnery and its associated graveyard which cannot now be precisely located. Mary's Well (KD040-014----) is situated nearby. The carved stone head of an angel from this site is now in a nearby garden, and some mouldings, possibly from this site, have been incorporated into the mill (No.). A medieval graveslab (KD040-010003-) reputedly originally from here (KD040-015001-) is now in Knockpatrick graveyard (KD040-010----). (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 317-8) Date of upload: 8 September 2016

• KD040-015001 Graveslab
  Description

  The reputed original location of a graveslab now fixed to the graveyard wall at Knockpatrick graveyard (KD040-010----). A slightly tapering granite slab (dims. H 0.75m; Wth 0.31-0.37m; T 0.18m), the base and right-hand edge of which are obscured by concrete, carry's a ringed cross (diam. 0.31m) with splayed terminals and stem, carved in low relief. At the junction of cross and stem is a bulbous feature (diam. 0.11m); possibly a boss or knop. Extending diagonally from this feature are two diagonal appendages, interpreted by Harbison (1989-91, +) as representing ribbons. The present location of this slab is designated KD040-010003-.
